  5. Put on the HV insulating gloves and the leather over gloves, then perform Hioki resistance test at each HV joint from the HV busbar lead to the charge port stud, and then remove the gloves.
    • If the resistance is greater than 0.270 mΩ (270 μΩ), stop the work and escalate the Toolbox session.
    • If the resistance is lower than 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), reposition the probes and measure again.
    • If the resistance repeats between 0.00 mΩ and 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), Hioki test is passed, proceed to next step.
